Rootישב (y-š-b)
Core Meaningssitting, dwelling, remaining, abiding, settling
Semantic Rangeto sit, to dwell, to remain, to inhabit, to stay, to be settled, to abide in a place
Conceptual Significanceיָשַׁב expresses settled presence and belonging in a land or place. It often conveys covenantal themes of inhabiting the land, stability, and established community, highlighting the contrast between wandering and dwelling securely under divine provision.
Morphological Notesלַ + Qal active participle masculine plural absolute of יָשַׁב; the prefixed ל carries the sense "to/for," and the definite article is assimilated; masculine plural participial form indicates ongoing or characteristic action.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the prefixed preposition ל and definite article, literally "to the ones who are dwelling." Rendering it "to the dwelling ones" preserves the participial, ongoing sense of abiding or sitting, reflects the masculine plural form, and retains the root connection to the idea of settled presence.
